I Guess I Was Wrong

I normally read fantasy......if you couldn't already tell that:) Anyway, once in a while I'll read a classic something by Janet Oak or Louisa May Alcott but never, Never, anything by Beverly Lewis. And of course I don't mean Beverly Lewis is a bad writer or anything but I never could get into any of her books and, to my shame, I thought her very boring. But one day I was walking through the library and I came across her books. I looked at them, wondering how anyone could get into these when I saw one entitled The Secret. These are the books my mom had been reading......huh, I wonder what they're about, was what I thought as I picked it up. I looked at the back and read:






In the seemingly ordinary Amish home of Grace Byler, secrets abound. Why does her mother weep and wander deep in the night? And why does her father refuse to admit something is dreadfully wrong? Then, in one startling moment, the quiet life Grace has known is irrevocably altered, leaving her to question all she has been taught about love, family, and commitment.



I looked around and saw a chair to my left. Well, I don't have anything better to read at the moment, I thought and took the book with me, sat down and started reading. I had read a page or two of the prologue when I noticed my mom would be coming to pick me up soon. I was surprised by my next thought. I wanted to check this book out! This book! By Beverly Lewis, the writer I had once sworn I would never read anything by. But the next thought that came knocked every intention of checking this book out, out of my head. I had forgotten my library card. So I put it back and waited outside for my mom.
Weeks passed and I was back in the world of fantasy. Where I belong :) I soon forgot about The Secret and I couldn't care less. But the day came when I was once again looking around the library trying to kill time before my mom picked me up. That's when I remembered The Secret. I walked over to it and picked it up. Well, why not? I took it upstairs to a bean bag chair and started reading it again. After a bit I was reading avidly and when the time came to go, I checked it out.



The book sits beside me as I type and I'm almost half way done. I'm enjoying it very much.
Well, I can not stay away from it too long, so for now...........
